Church hosts summer campfire series
July 27, 2010
On hot summer evenings, nothing quite beats a good campfire with plenty of food, fun and singing.
This summer, Our Savior Lutheran Church is putting on the Midweek Community Campfire Series. The campfires are held every Wednesday night at 6 p.m. through Aug. 18 beside the lake at Lake Sammamish State Park.
The church invites all members of the community to join them. There will be hotdogs, s’mores and worship songs at every service.
Associate Pastor Ryan Fletcher said he hopes that the campfires will attract members of the church and nonchurch members alike.
